On Tuesday, November 10, beginning at 5:30 p.m., join jazz pianist Monika Herzig at The Venue for a birthday celebration of Hoagy Carmichael’s life and music.
Born and raised in Bloomington, Hoagy Carmichael established his career in Hollywood as one of the premier songwriters for the Great American Songbook, as well as frequent actor in more than 14 movies.
Enjoy some of Hoagy’s well-known songs such as “Georgia,” “Stardust,” “Rockin’ Chair,” and “Lazybones,” as performed by Monika, and learn about his big life, as well as some lesser-known facts. For example, did you know that Hoagy never formally studied music at Indiana University, but actually got a law degree? And much more. Of course for the occasion we’ll have birthday cake and refreshments. You can visit the following link for free parking options near The Venue: bloomington.in.gov/parksmart.
Join the party to celebrate one of Bloomington and America’s best.
Cost: Free
